lyrics

He would always tell you how it was and it was never tempting
Probably why he walked home by himself, everyday
And he was always there to lend a hand but no one asked because he
Wore a weary frown
It kept everyone down

And everyday he takes two lefts and a right to a broken home
And prays that someday soon he’ll find his way
And God will do him right
But everyday there’s something more, something else’ll just twist the knife
He prays and hopes someone can hear him
“Please Lord someday will you do me right?”

One step forward two steps back he tries to speak but lost the knack
Their ears are plugged their eyes are set
His image burned into their heads
Hits the books to dull the pain
His teachers sing the same refrain
It’s no good your work’s not right
It’s probably cause you’re shirt’s too tight

And everyday he takes two lefts and a right to a broken home
And prays that someday soon he’ll find his way
And God will do him right
But everyday there’s something more, something else’ll just twist the knife
He prays and hopes someone can hear him
“Please Lord someday will you do me right?”

Twist and turns inside his mind
Looks for peace of any kind
Shoots up to another world
Cities burn but he feels cold
Hides inside his silhouette
Can’t find the words to tell her yet
How he needs her

It’s hard to scream with a broken voice and no one understands
It’s hard to ask for help when no one give a damn
It’s hard to cry with sunburned sockets and no lover’s hand
It’s hard to find the ground when you can’t find a reason to land

And everyday he took two lefts and a right to a broken home
And prayed that someday soon he’d find his way
And god would do him right
But everyday was something more
Something else would just twist the knife
He’d pray and hope someone could hear him
“Please Lord someday do me right.”
But some days they come so slow
Fingers blister and lips chap “Lord
I don’t know if you can hear this,
But I will make it right.”
